Park
to Play in US Women's Open

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Sun Park (Vail, Ariz.), who
joins the Yale Women's Golf Team as a freshman this fall, is set to
play in the 2010 U.S. Women's Open from July 5-11 at the Oakmont
Country Club in Oakmont, Pa.

Park qualified at the Industry Hills Golf Course in City of
Industry, Calif., earlier this month. She shot a first-round 71 and
followed with a 72 en route to a one-under par 143 and a
fifth-place finish.

Park has won 11 Arizona tournaments and has finished in the
top-five in all but three events since 2005.

Seo Hee Moon (Mukilteo, Wash.), also a member of the Yale class
of 2014, joins Park and 152 other golfers from June 21-26 at the
2010 U.S. Open Women's Amateur Public Links Championship at the
Warren Golf Course in Notre Dame, Ind.

Moon was introduced to the sport at the age of three and became
famous in her home state. She won the 2007 Coca-Cola Junior
Championship and the 2009 PNGA Junior Girls Amateur Championship.
She was runner-up in the PNGA event in 2006 and 2007.

Yale Women's Golf Head Coach Chawwadee Rompothong is thrilled
with the additions to her team.

“I am elated to have Sun Park and Seo Hee Moon join our
Bulldog family this fall. Both freshmen will be able to add to the
depth and strength of the team. Sun and Seo Hee are well rounded
individuals who are committed to excellence on and off the course.
They will be able to make an immediate impact on our scoring
average and I am excited for next season and the future of Yale
golf.”
